File:Altamiro, Purebred Sorraia Stallion.jpg
Summary
Altamiro (Ultrajado x Pompeia) is a purebred Sorraia stallion. His sire (bred by José Luis Vasconcellos e Sousa d'Andrade) and dam (bred by Maria Emilia d'Andrade Oliveira e Sousa) were exported from Portugal to Germany. Altamiro was born in 2005 at the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.wisentgehege-springe.de/">Wisentgehege zoological park</a> in Springe (Hanover), and was imported to Canada in 2006 to become part of a transcontinental conservation effort to save this endangered wild-type of primitive horse.

This photo taken in May of 2008 shortly after his third birthday.
